Day 229
Day 229 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Kip Doyle is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Dot Ferris is stepping out with Dr. Cornelius Pratt. Gus Tidewater is stepping out with Marla Finch. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Greengage Harvest reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
OPEN THIS DAY IN THE BROADCASTWhat was announced
07:00Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town.
10:00The morning mail has arrived. Hal Brody received a mysterious postcard.
11:00A seagull has stolen Bev Tanner's sandwich near the dock. Again.
11:37Every kitchen in town now smells of greengage. Nobody is complaining, exactly.
12:00A hedge has been trimmed one inch past a boundary. Diplomacy is under way.
13:00The community orchard is in blossom and briefly the best place in town.
13:00For four seconds Truman Beaumont's radio carried a voice describing exactly where Truman Beaumont was standing.
13:00The radio in Truman Beaumont's kitchen has been persuaded to play his favourite song. He is singing along, badly.
14:00Kip Doyle is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning.
15:00Nothing whatsoever is happening in Seahaven Springs. Bev Tanner appears to be enjoying it.
16:00The Town Hall clock and the bakery clock disagree by two minutes. Both are certain.
18:00Friday evening has begun at The Anchor. Rex is polishing the good glasses.
18:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
20:00There is one more chair at The Anchor than there was yesterday. Rex has not mentioned it.
21:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
21:18Hal Brody has thanked every chair in The Anchor for its service.
22:00It is warm enough to sit outside. Half the town has done exactly that.
